1

Start by measuring out equal parts chickpea flour and water (1.5 cups each).

2

Add salt and pepper to the mixture.

3

Pour in 1/4 cup of olive oil and mix (it's okay if it's not evenly incorporated).

4

Heat a non-stick skillet with about 2 teaspoons of oil until it shimmers and coats the pan.

5

Pour the chickpea flour mixture into the skillet and cook until the edges start to brown and the flatbread feels solid.

6

Flip the flatbread when confident, using two spatulas if necessary.

7

Cook the second side until done, which takes less time than the first side.

8

Prepare a salad with thinly sliced fennel, tarragon, and shallots, adding vinegar to soften the shallots.

9

Sprinkle goat cheese on top of the flatbread while it's warm to soften it.

10

Dress the salad with more olive oil than vinegar, then combine with the shallots and serve.
